  • Ah right, thought it was some other kind if moneymaking thing I could get into, lol
  • Hey chaps - cahined to a desk all day - didn't even get home for lunch but did eat cereal and free milk from work....

    Today my update is that I fought with my supervisor on paper (nothing new there eh?? we constantly fight cos he's a lemon) - and I may have potentially won.

    Will save off dancing in seat until I review this statement later...........when his email sinks in and I figure out if I did actually win.

    This is very DFW cos it means I might actually keep my stipend cos they might actually keep me on my phd. I am being deferred until june for my upgrade - so I have 6 months to write like a beast and hopefully keep my job or 6 months to think of something else to do.

    See stripey socks do have magical and mythical powers. :)

    hope you are all good, sorry been a bit distracted lately. xxxxxxxxx will read and catch up later on xx
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
